off Road Shock Absorbers 101 - compressor - Photo 16

Mount the compressor underhood, near the battery. In our application, there was enough space between the battery and the airbox. The compressor only runs when you are actually adjusting the shock settings, so there's little risk of it overheating from use, making mounting locations a bit easier than other types of air compressors. We mounted the receiver on the outside of the battery isolation box (arrow).
